This panoramic view of a critical great-power crossroads highlights emerging issues that have the potential to shape a new regional order. It is theoretically informed, geographically comprehensive, and original in covering such themes as identity politics, management of North Korea, and types of powers in Northeast Asia. For many, its foremost strength may be clarifying the challenges the United States faces and offering guidance in narrowing the choices ahead.
